Lay down a bold patch of color, blend one shade into another, or scratch through a top layer to uncover the color beneath. Caran d’Ache’s Neocolor I wax pastels have a creamy texture and rich, covering color for drawing, rubbings, and layered pictures. Their water-resistant formula works on paper and cardboard as well as wood, leather, fabric, glass, and stone, giving each project a different starting point. Made in Switzerland, the pastels have excellent lightfastness and strong covering power, and they lend themselves to rubbing, polishing, overlays, and sgraffito. Ten pretty pastels come in this classic red metal tin.
